(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported by Ukrinform, citing Zelensky's Facebook post following a meeting with U.S. Secretary of the Army Daniel Driskoll.

“Today, during a meeting with the U.S. Secretary of the Army, Daniel Driscoll, we discussed options for achieving real peace, the sequencing of our work and formats for dialogue, as well as new impulses for diplomacy. Our teams – of Ukraine and the United States – will work on the provisions of the plan to end the war. We are ready for constructive, honest and swift work,” Zelensky emphasized.

He also briefed on the devastating Russian strike on Ternopil.

“The Kh-101 missile that the Russian army used yesterday to hit an ordinary residential building was manufactured in 2025. It contains 175 foreign components that are still reaching Russia in circumvention of sanctions. We count on the support of the United States in restricting all such schemes,” Zelensky noted.

The President provided Secretary Driscoll with specific materials containing information about the companies producing the critical components, the countries of origin, and the components themselves.

“Peace is needed, and we appreciate the efforts of President Trump and his team aimed at restoring security in Europe. Ukraine defends lives and independence thanks to the courage of our people, our unity within the state, and the assistance from our partners. We are working to ensure that all three elements are strong enough,” Zelensky concluded.
